Shanghai is located on the coast of the East China Sea and lies right on the East Asian–Australasian Flyway. A former World Wildlife reserve in Nanhui was simply turned into agricultural land. By some measures, Shanghai is the most populated city in the world. And yet it is.

While it makes a passing attempt to say not all scientists are like these monstrous fiends (or truly arrogant, as she dubs them) it mostly focuses on these monstrous fiends simply to prove that scientists in wildlife conservation can be monstrous fiends, particularly compared to the environment-loving oil industry of Alaska. Best guess?

The boat Captain got us right in close. When were visiting Smoo cave, this one was right in the cave entrance. I gave up on visiting the cave, and just watched this bird washing, preening and then jumping right in, and catch this small flat fish. I have to admit, some of this photography work is easier than others.

If you want to know what happened on August 31, 1984, I can name at least one event: In the Padang-Sugihan Wildlife Reserve in South Sumatra province, a Large Frogmouth was mobbed by a Greater Racket-tailed Drongo, as described here. Lucky him, right? At between 4 pm and 6 pm, to be exact. Though he ended up dead anyway.

One morning, I woke up to see a White-breasted Nuthatch in the tree right behind our 5th wheel, but before I could get out there with my camera, it was gone, never to see seen in the next three days. Guess I was just not holding my mouth right? Here is the gray toned female Mountain Bluebirds.

As Bill Oddie noticed in his foreword to ‘Wild Sri Lanka’ (2nd edition) by Gehan De Silva Wijeyeratne, this island paradise is probably the only country in the world where almost all books on wildlife were authored by a single person. Size apart, the sighting rates in the right season and area are really striking.
